Best French Bakery in Miami River

"This family-owned doughnut shop in Wynwood is not your average dessert place and that’s a good thing. Doughnut flavors here change seasonally and all of the family’s yeast-raised doughnuts use a 24-hour brioche recipe (think butter, flaky bread and more butter). The Salty Donut serves cake doughnuts too, which are crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside."

"The fast-selling, handmade brioche donuts are buttery and fluffy outside, soft and moist inside. They make regular flavours like traditional glazed, hazelnut chocolate and white chocolate tres leches all year round. Grab some maple bacon donuts if you are there, hands up!"

"The Salty Donut, located in the heart of Wynwood, Miami, is famous for their mouthwatering and beautifully-made donuts. Catch them in the mornings because they tend to sell out quite quickly."

"Zak the Baker's Technicolor building is just billed as "bakery" on the outside—a sign of false modesty if ever there was one. Zak's is known for its world-class bread, which some of the city's best restaurants order to serve to their customers. Here at the mothership, though, the painstakingly made pleated loaves are topped with corned beef or avocado, and rye bread, chocolate babkas, and quiche all fly off the shelves."

"While in the area, grab a pastry at Zak the Baker. Whether you are in the mood for an afternoon snack at its deli or an almond Danish at the bakery, Zak the Baker has everything your heart desires. Maybe even grab a treat to go, because your next stop is the perfect place for an afternoon pre-dinner picnic."

"I never knew gluten-free bread could taste so good until I took a bite of Zak The Baker’s incredible bread. Seriously, it’s delish."

"Located in Wynwood, Fireman Derek’s World Famous Pies serves up some of the most delicious pies around, with flavors like chocolate peanut butter, brown butter pie, and s’mores. They also have a killer guava cheesecake, red velvet cake, and serve lunch pies, including their infamous mac and cheese pie. If you’re in the mood for some seriously savory pies, you’re going to have to hit this spot in the vibrant streets of Miami’s arts district."

"Located in the Wynwood Art District, this hidden gem serves up sweet pies, like the classic apple and chocolate peanut butter, yet also savory pies, like the spinach and feta and the Mediterranean. After browsing the beautiful art, stop by this joint to grab a slice of literally anything. They won't let you down."

"This Wynwood spot serves up Cuban coffee and small bites like empanadas, croquetas, and sweet items. The space is modeled after a paladar — aka a small restaurant that can be found inside someone’s private home in Cuba — complete with a welcome mat at its entrance, to the plush furniture seating found inside this coffee shop, Cuban tiles, and even its own piece of the Wynwood Walls with a mural of Cuban queen, Celia Cruz outside its front door. Open for takeout, indoor and outdoor dining, and delivery."

"Restaurants Coffee shops Midtown. Modeled after a traditional paladar (small restaurants hidden in private homes in Cuba), Suite Habana serves real-deal Cuban espresso, plus Latin bites like empanadas and croquetas. You’ll also find modernized caffeine drinks, such as oat cortado made with Tu Café coffee and oat milk."

"Suite Habana Cafe is an amazing, and extremely friendly environment to come in, have the best coffee in town and work on your laptop while chit chatting...."

"Restaurants Coffee shops Coral Gables. This Gables favorite welcomes folks of all stripes: hip artists, businessmen on lunch break and viejos looking for something to sip on. You can opt for a sit-down lunch (a delicious one, at that) or grab your coffee to-go.Cafe Demetrio has a selection of wild creations like a salted caramel mocha alongside reliable favorites like your classic cortadito."

"Coffee and chess are the two most popular pastimes at Café Demetrio in Coral Gables. As one of Coral Gable’s first coffee houses, this quaint coffee shop and eatery was opened back in the early 1990’s by Demetrio and Vilma Pena. They were always big coffee lovers and dreamed of opening a place where patrons could come, relax in the Florida sunshine, and spend the afternoon playing chess with friends."

"For a quick breakfast or a leisurely meal, fuel up at this hip cafe and you'll be ready for a day of sightseeing, shopping, or business meetings. The cozy, comfortable room is perfect for perusing the morning paper or meeting up with friends. Or grab a table outside and relax as you enjoy an excellent cappuccino, espresso, or the favorite of the house, the Frappuccino Demetrio."

"The shredded pork and shredded beef were really salty and over seasoned. The lechón (pork) had no crispy skin at all that you'd expect with a lechón”more. Indoor & Outdoor dining"

"I actually found this parish when I google searched on Miami Perpetual Adoration. It came up as the closest parish to Coconut Grove. The masses are mostly… read more »"

"Situated inside the University of Miami, this long-standing museum is a favorite for UM students and the Coral Gables community. The Lowe is home to a well-rounded collection of art from the Italian Renaissance, Baroque, Greco-Roman, and Spanish Old Masters, among others. The museum also holds a sizeable assortment of Native American, African, and Asian art and antiquities."

"The original Homestead Town Hall was built more than a century ago and has been converted into a museum boasting one of the area’s most complete collections of historic memorabilia related to the town. The items on display include vintage photographs, historical documents, and other unique tidbits of local interest; there’s even an old fire engine that was retired long ago. The Homestead Historic Town Hall Museum is located on North Krome Avenue and doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic, so it’s quite possible that visitors will have the place to themselves."

"For those of you who want a little more variety (or for those that don't like shopping), you can stop at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, where there is something for everyone. Guests have the option to enjoy the casino, horse racing, live entertainment and more."

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."
